A complex between the Tat protein, encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and the cellular protein, Pur␣, has been implicated in activation of the late promoter of JC virus (JCV) and in enhancement of JCV DNA replication. JCV is the causative agent of progressive multifocal leukoenc
Interference of binding of Tat protein to TAR RNA in HIV-1-infected cells may be a useful therapeutic strategy for AIDS. An electrophoretic assay to screen potential low-molecular-weight (< 2 kDa) Tat antagonists has been established. A radiolabeled TAR RNA fragment (delta TAR) is retarded in mobili
